BENEFITS OF A THIGH LIFT

One of the more popular body contouring procedures, a thigh lift improves the proportionality of your body by delivering firmer, slimmer, and smoother thighs. Some of the key benefits of this procedure include:

Smoother skin appearance

Slimmer thigh profile

Better proportioned thighs

Reduces excess fat and skin

THIGH LIFT OPTIONS

Depending on the patient, one or more areas of the thigh may need to be lifted. Drs. Matatov, Torabi, Tessler, and Zakhary will explain what each type of thigh lift entails during your initial consultation.

Inner thigh lift –

This procedure is a great choice for women who do not have too much loose skin. The focus is to tighten the tissue located on the upper part of the patient’s inner thigh. During surgery, your surgeon will make small (virtually invisible) incisions within the groin fold, and contour the treatment area in line with the patient’s desires.

Vertical thigh lift –

This treatment is popular with women who need a dramatic procedure to address their problem areas. Incisions are made at the groin fold going downwards to the inner knee. Keep in mind that the incision site will be visible when you’re wearing short clothing or swimsuits. However, this option offers maximum skin tightening benefit.

Outer thigh lift –

With this type of thigh lift, incisions start at the groin and move around the hip. Your surgeon will hide the incision line in the crease between the thigh and the hip.

Spiral thigh lift –

Plastic surgeons use this kind of thigh lift to target all areas of the thigh. Incisions are made at the buttock fold and continue around the groin crease. The goal is to reshape the patient’s thigh in order to meet their cosmetic objectives.

Depending on what the patient desires, various types of a thigh lift can be combined together. You will be able to discuss the best treatment regimen as well as ask questions during your initial consultation at the Elite Plastic Surgery.

DURING SURGERY

Thighplasty surgery in Phoenix may be performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. The procedure can be performed at a hospital, outpatient surgery center, or a surgeon’s office-based location. A thigh lift takes about 2-3 hours to complete depending on the extent of the procedure and the amount of skin that needs to be removed. Our Arizona thigh lift surgeons at Elite Plastic Surgery employ the best surgical approaches to attain the best possible outcome while minimizing visible scarring and the risk of complications.

THIGH LIFT RECOVERY

Following a thigh lift procedure in Phoenix, your surgeon will apply surgical dressing at the incision site. It may be necessary to insert a small drain tube that can help get rid of excess fluids from the treatment area. You’ll be told what compression garment to wear through the recovery duration. The incision sites will be closed using sutures, and each patient is monitored before being released to go home. Patients should set aside about 7-10 days away from work in order to ensure proper healing. Bruising and swelling are common following the surgery but usually subside within a few weeks. Most thigh lift patients are able to get back to their normal daily routines within 4-6 weeks.
